What is a Lifting-folding-Shutter and how does it work?
Function principle simply explained
A Lifting-folding-Shutter is a movable façade element or a movable room closure that opens and closes vertically. During opening, the shutter leaves fold together and, in the open position, remain in a V-shape in front of the façade or wall. At Baier, this principle is used both for architectural solar shading and for movable room closures.
Structurally, a Lifting-folding-Shutter generally consists of:
- Frame/leaf system (2-leaf)
- Infill or cladding
- Fittings and hinge technology
- Guide system and drive (manual or motorized)
Important for building owners and planners: A Lifting-folding-Shutter is generally not a standard off-the-shelf product, but a custom-made solution. This allows requirements regarding appearance, operation, and integration into the façade/wall to be addressed in a targeted way.
